Beautiful COLOR

If you know anything about me, you know that I am a great lover of 1) bright colors and 2) vibrant prints.  And when both are combined it makes my heart soar.  So here are a few things that are making my heart happy lately!





This beauty is from my favorite store in the entire world, ABC Carpet and Home in NYC.  Love the mix of prints, the scalloped back and perfectly turned feet.  LOVE.



An amazing bottlecap pattern tabletop.  This is totally doable as a DIY.





I'm always a sucker for a tufted couch and with these prints all colliding together, well - it makes me happy.  Plus it looks very comfortable and isn't that what is most important in a couch?



And finally, I know this isn't furniture or a room...but the exquisite combination of sparkles makes my heart sing.  I would wear these in a heartbeat.

On a Clear Day...

 
If I didn't love my current bar stools, I would be all over these clear lucite ones.  Lucite makes objects looks cleaner, more modern.  And even though I'm not a modern furnishings kind of girl, a clean clear chair does something for me.

Do you use lucite in your home furnishings? Should I convert?

Drawers, Drawers, Drawers!

I want this drawer situation, plain and simple:

SERIOUSLY, how cool is this??? Think of all of the hundreds of things you could store in this? And the colors and peeling paint? Oh...how I love thee, many drawer piece of furniture...

Maybe the Coolest Chair?

I am in LOVE with this chair. IN LOVE I tell you...

The Most Colorful Sofa EVER

I find that I am consistently drawn to furniture that is wildly colored/patterened...and yet I don't have any furniture like that in my home. Hmmmmm...time to make some changes perhaps?

Anyway, this sofa just SPEAKS to me...yells perhaps :) Isn't it glorious? I think I would feel extra happy sitting on it.

The MOST Beautiful Sofa...According to Me

I saw this on Apartment Therapy and it literally took my breath away. Its like someone decided to make a couch JUST for me.

Now, who knows if it is comfy, but just the looks of it make me dizzy with design joy :) I pray that someone appreciative will buy it and love it for me!

A New Way to Store Books...

Stumped on a way to store your books? Bored with the same old bookshelf situation? Well, how about this architectual/artistic wonder:

I wish that I had the URL for this but I found it on Pinterest and then repinned it - anyone want to claim it properly for me????

Isn't it magnificent? I like the lounging among the books option best of all :)

Pixel Furniture

It's not often that I see furniture I find truly stunning. I am loving these pixel-inspired prints found on seating by Cristian Zuzunaga.



Isn't this seating beautiful?! Would you be able to find a place in your home for such bold pieces?

Goodies from Urban Outfitters

Yummy new offerings from Urban Outfitters...

Urban Outfitters is one of my favorite sources for all things funky and fun. And that's for both clothing AND home. I was browsing their online store the other day and came across a few offerings that wowed me with their color and apparent craftmanship.

Hello, you gorgeous rug...why don't you come home with me...

See that big metal 'A'? I have the same metal letters in my children's playroom - they spell

'P-L-A-Y'. I love those letters.

Head over to Urban Outfitters pronto to check out their new wares for spring/summer - you won't be sorry.

Nest in your Bed!

Want to see the COOLEST bed ever for a kid (or an adult for that matter)?

Yep, hands down, this would rock. It kind of reminds me of Big Bird from Sesame Street's nest/bed. There is something comforting and cozy...yet FUN about this bed.

Kind of want one. But that's just my inner child speaking. Totally...

Sublime Seating

I. Want.

From ABC Carpet and Home. Of course.

Crown your Dreams...

Perhaps if you slept in this bed, your dreams would always be magical...

Distressed...

Distressed...but not in a bad way, of course :) This cabinet is such a beauty. Found at the Anthropology offshoot, Terrain, I love the green patina best of all.

Numbered Dresser by Anthropologie

(Found at Anthropologie, one of the stores I would live in if I could).

I have fallen for this dresser. It would be the perfect addition for either a childs room, clearly marking the order they should pick out their clothes in the morning...or an anywhere-else-in-the-house room :)

I love it.
